I don't see how you can extract content out of the context of a container
with any assurance of understanding it's meaning. Taking your original
example,
> <item xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
> <title>My Summer Vacation</title>
> <description>On my summer vacation I went to...</description>
>
> <link>http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/RESTLog.py/4</link>
> <dc:date>2002-10-28T22:18:53-05:00</dc:date>
> </item>
We might have in the same document:
<item xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
<diary>2002-10-28</diary>
<dc:date>Had a hot one with Mindy tonight. Hachacha!</dc:date>
</item>
Without context, you'd have to resort to parsing values to determine intent.
